The work Of eviction was continuedat
Gweedore, but imates Of Widow Bowle's
house stoutly resisted the evictors by
throwing boiling water upon them. The
baiIiffs demolished the house, and the
chimney having tumbled, the debris took
fire. Seven persons were arrested. Ow-
ing to the hostile demeanor of spectators,
the police were ordered to prepare to fire,
whereupon Constable Houghre advanced
and threw down his rifle, declining to
obey orders. Callahan, the moonlighter,
who was one of the patty that killed
Constable Whelehan, at Lisdoonvarne,
and who turned queens evidence, was
taken to Ennis and testified against his
accomplices. He swore as to the plot
against Sexton, and identified seven of
the prisoners as having participated in
the killing Of Whelehan, Callahan a9-
mltted that he had planned number of
moonlight raids in Kerry and Clare, and
that he had been in the pay OF the police
for the last five years, and that he had re-
ccived from Constable Whelehan, just
before the raiding of Sexton, small sum
of money in payment of his share for ar
ranging the raid. This statement caused
a great sensation in court. While return
ing to Jail, the prisoners were cheered by
crowds in the streets. The police charged
the people and used their batons freely.
A gang Of moonIighters attacked the
house Of farmer named KibOn, at Gran

A LIVELY SCENE.

~ II
A LIVELY SCENE.
An unusual scene occurred at the Me-
tropolitan M. e. church when Rev. John
r. Newman, in sermon on "Infdelity,"
referred in severe terms to the anarchists.
"Could any American citizen,n be said,
1ten years ago, have imagined the sign
ing Of petition to pardon those whose
hands are red with the blood of the de.
tenders Of public peace and safety2
What is back Of this anarchy-this dare
devil movement on the part Of these
villains--who ought TO have been hung
long agof" At this point, many OF the
audience rose to their feet, clapped their
hands, and with loud demonstrations an
nounced their approval of the minister's
words.
sTEAEIsG PUBLIC LANDS.
A great evil has been fostered in Wy
oming Territory, says Gov. Moonlight in
his annual report, in the shape of land
grabbing and illegal fencing of the pub
lie domain by wealthy men and by cor
porations, many Of the latter aliens. He
thinks, however, that now the admins
tration Of the land laws is vigorous and
impartial and the settlers are protected
in their rights. The complaints Of the
administration OF the laws do not come,
the governor states, from the men who
are seeking homes, but rather from those
who hold large bodies Of land. The re-
suit Of the operations Of the great syndi-
cate has been to retard the progress Of
the Territory and prevent immigration.
Business men now begin to understand
that fifty families and fifty ranches occu-
pying the same ground covered by one
ranch and fifteen men would afford them
an enlarged market and assure them an
increase Of business. The governor says
the cattle business Is declining; that b.
luminous coal is being successfully mined
and that the oil fields are very rich.

The large deficiency in rainfall for the
season continues in the central valleys,
but this deficiency has been reduced dur
ing the week in the wheat and corn re.
gions of the Northern States. Over the
greater portion Of the cotton region the
deficiency has exceeded 10 inches. In the
tobacco regions Of Virginia, Kentucky
and Tennessee, the deficiency in rainfall
for the season generally amounts to less
than five inches, except in the extreme
west portions Of Tennessee and Kentucky,
where the deficiency in rainfall for the
season exceeds 10 inches. The only
states reporting excess Of rainfall for the
season are Pennsylvania, Maine, Southern
New York, the West portions Of Kansas

ALL the hellabaloo raised by the
Nashville Union over those charges
against the Governor has so far re-
suited in nothing but stirring up a
lot of mud which might very proper
ly have been allowed to settle of its
own weight. AS yet the Union has
accomplished nothing but giving
broader currency to lot of contemp-
tible street rumor, and has produced
nothing to establish either the Gov
enor's guilt or innocence, although
that paper has made some loud
promises of what it is going to do be-
fore it gets through with the business.
Altogether the whole affair looks
like the Union had gone off half
cooked, before it got ready to shoot,
and the noise of the explosion had
frightened the editor so bad he was
sorry he ever had anything to do
with it.

THE INTERSTATE LAW.

The Interstate Commerce law is
growing more unpopular every day,
as the effects of its operations begin
to develop. The complaint against
the law is not confined to the rail-
roads and to those who had their free
passes cut off, but shippers of all
classes of freight find the operation
ofthe law seriously interrupting every
branch of commerce. The commits
sioners have suspended the long and
short hand clause of the act on most
of the southern roads for a period of
80 days. We will be very much sur
prised if it is not found that this
clause will have to be permanently
suspended or very materially modi-
fed. 1t is sheer folly to attempt to
regulate the rates of transportation of
the vast commercial productions of
this country by a single clause of a
general law. Rates are not always
controlled by the railroads. There
are circumstances of competition be-
tween products which regulate the
prices of transportation of the same,
and any attempt to regulate this
transportation by means of a single
sweeping statute will simply destroy
the business. The effect of the Inter
State act, if its provisions are strictly
enforced by the commissioners and
the courts of the country, will be to
destroy vast amount of through
transportation, to localize the bus
mess Of the roads, and to curtail and
contract many of the large business
enterprises of the country. a few
cities having extraordinary advanta-
ges of water transportation will
perhaps be benefited by the law, but
the commerce of the country at large
is suffering and will continue to suf-
fer from its operations. One of the
chief aims of the law was to prevent
discrimination, and in doing this the
trainers of the law succeeded in MAX
ing very great determinations in
favor of the railroads and against pri-
vate or individual enterprises. Even
if the law was wise and judicious in
its provisions, the machinery provid-
ed for its execution is entirely made
quate. The Commissioners are fast
/. becoming deluged with work, and
they will soon have business piled
up before them which it will take
months to get through with; and
during all this time the commercial
affairs of the country must hang in
suspense, awaiting their decisions.
Good may eventually work out OF
the measure, but viewing it in its
present proportions and indications,
we are at a loss to find any favorable
signs of such a consummation.

The objection to so.called proprietary
medicines by physicians, is, that they
promise to cure everything, and that the
patient must first know his precise ailment
before anything can be taken safely, This
is true, but does not apply to Shallenber'
gers Antdote for Malaria. 1t claims sim.
ply to destroy Malaria in the system, and
has proven the claim abundantly. The
symptoms of Malaria cannot be mistaken
by anyone, and you don't need a physician
with this remedy within your reach.

MR.. FRANK M. FONDA, a promi-

Nashville was accidentally killed by
gun in the hands of a friend near
Savannah, Ga, last Sunday after
noon. He had been appointed Super
intendent Of the Georgia Central rail-
road, and had only gone to Savannah
to assume his new duties a week or
two before his death. A party of
friends were taking pleasure excur-
sion on a tug boat. A man named
Abrams picked\ up a rifle and
pointed it at Fonda in playful man
ner, when by a lurch of the boat the
weapon was accidentally discharged,
killing Fonda instantly. He was the
third member of the Nashville gun
club to meet with a violent death
within the last year, Hooper Phillips
and AL Robertson being the other
